Durand Cup 2022: Bengaluru FC vs FC Goa preview, prediction and more

Defending Durand Cup champions FC Goa will have their hands full when they face Indian Super League giants Bengaluru FC on Tuesday, August 30 at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.

Bengaluru FC have been brilliant in the Durand Cup this season and have won both their matches so far. They started their campaign with a 2-1 win against Jamshedpur. Captain Sunil Chhetri and new striker Roy Krishna scored one goal each to hand them three points.

The team notched up an even better performance in their next game when they thrashed Indian Air Force 4-0. Usual suspects Chhetri and Krishna were on the scoresheet again. Faisal Ali and Siva Sakthi were also on the scoresheet.

Goa have won once and lost twice in this tournament and have very little chance of making it through to the next stage of the tournament.

Goa have no injury issues while Naorem Roshan Singh has rejoined the BFC squad after healing from his injury.
